If you have trouble hearing, it is okay to:
Tell people it is more difficult to hear them if they stand at a distance or out of sight.
Ask those interacting with you to slow down their speech.
Request the conversation be moved to an area with less background noise.
Let those in your life know that speaking while eating or engaged in other activities may make it harder for you to listen.
Tell them not to shout or speak directly into your ear as this distorts the sound.
Not let hearing loss make you feel isolated. Obtain hearing technology
